A new, non-iterative technique for synthesizing equispaced linear arrays with symmetric excitation is proposed. The methods is on the computation of an eigenvector of an appropriate real, Symmetric and positive-definite matrix. This technique can be used to determine, given a n complete description of the desired radia …

Two key parameters for RCE photodetectors that govern their suitability for ultrafast optical communication systems are considered. These are the quantum efficiency and the bandwidth efficiency product. A closed analytical form has been derived for quantum efficiency, which incorporates the structural parameters of the …

This paper is a review of axial-field electrical machines, which were at the origin of the invention of electrical machines such as the famous Faraday’s disk. The different configurations of the axial-field machines are presented along with their advantageous key steady state characteristics such as high efficiency and …

Photovoltaics is the process of converting solar energy into electrical energy. Any photovoltaic system invariably consists of solar cell arrays and electric power conditioners. Photovoltaic systems are reliable, quiet, safe and both environmentally benign and self-sustaining. In addition, they are cost-effective for a …
